That, and leaving the toilet seat up
Toilet seat belongs down - and the lid with it! It’s not only logical, but also just.
Comment on Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife?

No married man calls his wife old, not if he ever wants to have sex again with her.
That, and leaving the toilet seat up.

The thing is, at least in our household, the lid has to stay up.
I actually thought as you do, as that would be a perfect compromise, both parties would have to work to use the toilet.
But from what I’m told, is the late night half asleep moments where you forget to put the seat down, and you fall down into the toilet, that is being prevented by making sure the seats always down and the lid is always up.
It’s a low hanging fruit way of maritial bliss, so I go with it.

Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?

We never have that problem in our household. 🤷
We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there’s never any splash.
Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur.

That makes no sense to me tbh. If you are trained to keep the lid down, you are alerted immediately that something is off if the seat is up - you clearly see into the toilet and see that someone forgot to put it down.
If you are trained to only have the seat down and lid up, then the change between seat up and down is not significant enough to notice and stop muscle memory to sit and fall in.
Maybe I’m not understanding you but lid down is a foolproof way to not fall in from my perspective. My wife converted to the lid down way and doesn’t complain

You consider lid down to be foolproof, but I’d say seat down is also foolproof if your eyes aren’t absolutely horrible.

Yeah, that’s exactly my point.
My wife always forgets when she gets up in the middle of the night, and falls in, so she asks me to always make sure to see this down for her.

I’ve had this happen to me. I suspect it’s one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes. He can sense when I post anything remotely respectful of women because his pee pee hurts. 😆

If true, I’d feel really sad for that person, in a go outside and touch grass sort of way.
Honestly, at this point I expect the large amount of downvotes for anything I post. I’ve had that happen to a post where I just said “Thanks” and nothing else. Its sad, and I’d wish the Lemmy admins would catch that sort of thing more often (understanding that they are volunteers, but still), as it doesn’t make my experience here on Lemmy any better than when I was on Reddit.

Not directly, but when talking to friends, absolutely.

What if your wife already won’t have sex with you? Asking for a friend…

“old lady” absolutely is slang for wife. Also “ball and chain” which… yeah…
CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I know it exists, but I’ve never used it.
It sends one hell of a negative signal to your significant other to your dissatisfaction of them, which I’ve never felt for my own wife.
Also, I was just being more humorous, than literal (hence the toilet seat comment).
